Colin Kaepernick is like a lot of young men. He has a lot of shoes and a lot baseball caps.

When he wore one of his many sports team chapeaus—a Miami Dolphins cap—at a Fourth of July party, it caused a social uproar. Wearing another team hat is a no go in NFL circles, as fans of a given team expect complete loyalty from their players.

Colin Kaepernick replied aggressively in his Instagram account to the flak he received for wearing a Dolphins cap.

Followers of the 49ers expressed their disapproval via social media, leading to a reply from a clearly irritated Kaepernick.

"This the hat y’all mad at? I'm goin wear what I want regardless of what you think," Kaepernick said, via Instagram. "All you need to worry about is the fact that I grind for my teammates and the 49ers. I plan on doin this until they won't let me in the building! #ridiculous #y'allmustbebored"

Although 49ers followers, like all fans, tend to overreact, Kaepernick should remember how serious NFL fans are about their teams and the serious money many put up. The smart moves are to keep the Dolphins cap on the shelf and avoid battles with 49ers fans.
